After the Day 3 Stumps of the first Test against South Africa, New Zealand`s star spinner Mitchell Santner, who is playing his second Test in more than two-and-a-half years, spoke of the changes he has made in his bowling in the longest format.

Day three of the Mount Maunganui Test against South Africa saw New Zealand take dominance, leading by 528 runs in the second innings. This came after South Africa were bowled out for 162 in the first innings, with Santner taking 3 for 34. Santner`s performance, combined with Matt Henry and Kyle Jamieson`s, gave the hosts a commanding 349-run advantage in the first innings.
